Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Chapter 1332: Increasing Intimacy With Kailin

“Bye bye!”

With a smug smile spreading across his face, Luo Tian waved his hand at Hei Yue, who was being held back by the Beast Tamer.

Hei Yue’s rage surged into the sky.

The Sword of Light in his hand erupted with bursts of brilliant light, and sword qi raged out like laser beams, slicing through all the surrounding runic thorny vines. The Beast Tamer was forced back repeatedly, his face turning pale and bloodless.

But in an instant, his brow twitched, and all the thorny vines surged out again, swarming toward the entrance to form a Door of Thorns. They took root upon touching the ground.

Immediately after, the Beast Tamer condensed a drop of essence blood, “With blood as the guide, close!”

“Ommm~!”

The essence blood splattered onto the Door of Thorns, and the entrance was instantly sealed.

The Beast Tamer burst into laughter, “Hei Yue, you cannot enter now! Hahaha…”

Hei Yue descended from the air and stopped attacking. He then said indifferently, “Do you think you’re very smart? Do you think they are less of a threat than I am? I forgot to tell you one thing: that kid just now is the man of God’s Prophecy. If anyone in this world can find the Ancient King, it is him. You think you’re smart, but in reality, you’re as stupid as a pig!”

His words were filled with anger and mockery.

The Beast Tamer’s eyes flickered before asking in shock, “God’s Prophecy?”

Hei Yue replied, “He is far more powerful than you or I can imagine. Do you think anyone in your Guardian Race can stop him?”

“You had better open this Door of Thorns for me right now.”

Hei Yue desperately wanted to go in.

Unfortunately, his power was incapable of breaking the seal on the Door of Thorns.

The Beast Tamer suddenly laughed before saying, “I do not know if he is truly the man of God’s Prophecy, but my mission is simply to stop you. Hei Yue, even if I could open this Door of Thorns, I would not let you through.”

“Moreover, I just placed a Death Seal on it. Even I cannot open it now.”

He didn’t believe a word Hei Yue said.

He was certain that with Luo Tian’s cultivation level, it was impossible for them to pass the next level.

“Idiot!”

Hei Yue scolded before turning to leave.

He walked straight out of the cave entrance.

He didn’t want to waste any more time or a single drop of yuan energy inside. Standing at the entrance, he looked back into the cave and said coldly, “Do you think you have successfully escaped my control? Kid, I left a trace of my aura on you. Everything you do is still within my grasp, hahaha… Once you find the Ancient King and obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, I will find you no matter where you run to. When that time comes, you can just die obediently for me.”

An aura!

Early on, when Luo Tian used his Hulk transformation, Hei Yue had left a trace of his aura on him.

This aura allowed him to track everything Luo Tian did.

Therefore, Hei Yue wasn’t worried at all. Instead, he was in high spirits. “Since you are the man of God’s Prophecy, you should be able to get the Seven-Colored Divine Stone even without help. All I need to do is play the role of the clever oriole and wait for you to come out!”

“Hahaha…”

Inside the cave, the second floor.

It was a long corridor with dim lighting.

“Any injuries?”

“Is anyone injured?” Luo Tian asked immediately after entering the second floor.

Kailin shook her head and replied, “We’re all fine.”

Liu Zhan also added, “Boss, we’re okay.”

Luo Tian did a headcount. Except for the three paladins who had just died, everyone else was present, though they looked exhausted. The previous battle had consumed too much yuan energy.

“Rest where you are.”

“Recover your strength and yuan energy,” Luo Tian commanded.

He then walked over to the Saintess and took out several high-grade medicinal pills. “These pills will help you recover a bit faster.”

The Saintess hesitated for half a second before finally taking the pills from Luo Tian and swallowing them. Sensing the yuan energy contained within the pills, she looked up at Luo Tian, feeling a wave of shock in her heart. “This kind of pill would likely be difficult for even a Grandmaster Alchemist to refine. The extraction and concentration of yuan energy have been pushed to the absolute limit.”

Luo Tian then gave some pills to Kailin and told her to distribute them.

Kailin did not refuse. They had almost used up the genetic recovery fluid they brought, so these pills were like charcoal delivered in a snowstorm.

Kailin said gratefully, “Thank you!”

Luo Tian smiled and asked, “What are your plans next?”

The first step was complete.

Luo Tian’s intentions might not have been entirely pure, but he had merely acted as a catalyst. Even without him, Hei Yue would not have saved them and would likely have eliminated them in the end anyway.

The first step was very successful.

However, the second step could not use the same methods as the first. Luo Tian had to treat them with sincerity.

Kailin fell into silence.

The other paladins fell into silence as well.

A few minutes later, Kailin’s younger brother, Kailun, the first person Luo Tian had saved, suddenly spoke up. “We can’t go back to the Eurasian Continent. The Church will surely hunt us down, and since our reputation there is notorious, we’ll have no place to stand. We might as well try to make a name for ourselves in the Central Continent. If that fails, we can head to the Frozen Plains Country. Either way, I don’t want to return to the Church or do their dirty work ever again.”

“Kailun is right, I don’t want to go back either.”

“I wouldn’t go back even if they beat me to death.”

“Hei Yue came here with the intention of eliminating us because we’ve become a liability to the Church’s reputation. They’re burning the bridge after crossing it. Those high priests are cold-blooded animals; not a single one is good. I’ve finally seen through them.”

“Besides, we have no family or ties left in the Eurasian Continent, so why bother going back?”

Most of them were orphans, raised by the Tribunal since childhood.

They had no family on the continent. Anyone they became close with would mysteriously vanish. They didn’t say it aloud, but they knew the truth in their hearts. They knew too many of the Holy See’s dirty secrets. If those secrets ever leaked, it would cause widespread outrage.

Kailin remained silent.

She knew they couldn’t return, but the world was too large. Where could they go?

They truly had nowhere to turn.

Luo Tian didn’t rush them. He knew this kind of decision couldn’t be forced. He said softly, “What would happen if you were the ones to get the Seven-Colored Divine Stone?”

Liu Zhan and the Saintess were immediately shocked before turning to look at Luo Tian.

Liu Zhan even blurted out, “Boss…”

Kailin was also feeling shocked. She looked at Luo Tian, unsure why he was suddenly saying this.

Luo Tian then said, “I am the man of God’s Prophecy, so I should be able to obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Stone. If bringing the stone back would allow the Holy See or the imperial family to accept you all again, I am willing to…”

Before he could even finish speaking, Kailin said, “Whether we have the Seven-Colored Divine Stone or not, the Church will never let us off. If we return, we still won’t escape death.”

“Ding!”

“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for increasing your intimacy level with Paladin Kailin by 10 points.”
